Mercy Dove is a woman haunted by her past and plagued by scandal. The affairs of Evesham Hall, Mercy's infamous ancestral home, fill the broadsheets. But only society's elite, the select few invited by her stepfather, truly know the depravity of the decaying manor. Tired and eager for change, Mercy invites a new acquaintance to Evesham Hall, young Miss Violette. Her arrival provokes a shift within the walls, altering the status quo, and a much darker, more sinister shadow falls over the manor. With childhood memories resurfacing and the ghosts of the past looming, Mercy must find the courage to confront her inner demons and conquer the darkness surrounding her. Can Mercy Dove emerge unscathed in her final act? The scene is set, ready for a spine-tingling story to unfold, a Victorian gothic horror. Take a seat; the curtain is about to rise. Let us begin at the end. Content Warning: This story is a historically set Victorian Gothic horror. It contains themes and references to sexual corruption, with scenes of sex, murder and blood.
